Sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my life doing nothing and getting nowhere, but then I think about where I was a month, a year, five years ago. I spent so much time ignoring who I was and how I wanted to live my life, and now it feels like I'm finally starting to get to know myself. Even if it's not what I expected, or even wanted, being able to look back and see that growth gives me hope that things will be okay.
